In his life, Lawrence had a passion for the outdoors. He found Solace in hunting and fishing. His adventurous spirit and love for these activities brought joy to him, and he shared many cherished moments with family and friends in the great outdoors. He loved his time at the casinos, whether he won or lost, he always enjoyed being able to visit his friends there. He loved watching and cheering for his favorite football team the Washington Redskins. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.     

Though Lawrence may no longer be with us in body, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those he touched. May his memory be a source of comfort and strength during this difficult time.
